Read the chapter

1Shout joyful praises to God, all the earth! ✦ 2Sing about the glory of his name! Tell the world how glorious he is. ✦ 3Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! Your enemies cringe before your mighty power. ✦ 4Everything on earth will worship you; they will sing your praises, shouting your name in glorious songs.” Interlude ✦ 5Come and see what our God has done, what awesome miracles he performs for people! ✦ 6He made a dry path through the Red Sea, and his people went across on foot. There we rejoiced in him. ✦ 7For by his great power he rules forever. He watches every movement of the nations; let no rebel rise in defiance. Interlude ✦ 8Let the whole world bless our God and loudly sing his praises. ✦ 9Our lives are in his hands, and he keeps our feet from stumbling. ✦ 10You have tested us, O God; you have purified us like silver. ✦ 11You captured us in your net and laid the burden of slavery on our backs. ✦ 12Then you put a leader over us. We went through fire and flood, but you brought us to a place of great abundance. ✦ 13Now I come to your Temple with burnt offerings to fulfill the vows I made to you— ✦ 14yes, the sacred vows that I made when I was in deep trouble. ✦ 15That is why I am sacrificing burnt offerings to you— the best of my rams as a pleasing aroma, and a sacrifice of bulls and male goats. Interlude ✦ 16Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did for me. ✦ 17For I cried out to him for help, praising him as I spoke. ✦ 18If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. ✦ 19But God did listen! He paid attention to my prayer. ✦ 20Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer or withdraw his unfailing love from me. ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.

How Psalms 66 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
